Summer transfer window 2023 - rumours, links and discussion.

[equinox]

Based upon the 61 minutes of First Team football he's played ?

Yes, this.

[claretburns]

Based upon the 61 minutes of First Team football he's played ?

You can argue it is more than that, even though he played in the Dortmund reserves/B team, in Germany they are involved in the league set up, so he has just done a full season in German equivalent of League One.

So he has played a lot more than 61 minutes of professional football, the level he played at and how this sets him up as a good signing for the Premier League is debatable.

[Boss Hogg]

Be nice to be linked to some players with high level experience in addition to unproven young ones.

[Juan Tanamera]

Finally found his level.

Finally?
Didn't he play at that level last season?

[Vegas Claret]

I think getting Tella back would be a huge boost for everyone

on the Beehole podcast Sacha T was pretty sure we would be trying for Tella, be hard to get him though.

What, pre season friendly against Kings Lynn?

Sometimes you wonder whether the Internet is suitable for some people.

[Vegas Claret]

well so far VK has brought in Beyer, Ekdal, Dakhil and McNally and they've all done very well. I think we should trust one of the best CB's in PL history to judge a good CB rather than how many minutes he's played.

Dakhil had played a whole 38 professional games when we signed him and now he plays for Belgium !!!!!!!!

Who said anything about Kings Lynn?

[roperclaret]

He was 22 haha. It was only a season ago.

No. He was 20 in his first season for Saints and 21 in his second. He was 22 last year with us.

[Newcastleclaret93]

No. He was 20 in his first season for Saints and 21 in his second. He was 22 last year with us.

Nathan tella is 24 now. We signed him at 23. He has played two seasons at premier league level at 21 and 22.

Potato Patarto, point still stands. Could he be better now than he was 3 years ago?

[Taffy on the wing]

Finally found his level.

Looks like we've got another Horse botherer here!

[brexit]

Has James Trafford actually signed for us?

[Newcastleclaret93]

Potato Patarto, point still stands. Could he be better now than he was 3 years ago?

But it wasn’t three years ago?

His last premier league game was 14 months ago

[Big Vinny K]

But it wasn’t three years ago?

His last premier league game was 14 months ago

What’s your point ?
Did you see that game or any of his appearances ?
Or are you just checking Wikipedia every 10 minutes to try and back up whatever point you are struggling to make ?

[Newcastleclaret93]

My point is quite clear, he said that premier league defenders struggle against his pace.

I said there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that’s ********.

[fatboy47]

Has James Trafford actually signed for us?

I'd be amazed.

We'd look pretty daft if he picked up a cruciate or a dislocated shoulder in the current game.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I'd be amazed.

We'd look pretty daft if he picked up a cruciate or a dislocated shoulder in the current game.

According the commentators he’s our player haha

[Sutton-Claret]

Has James Trafford actually signed for us?

I really hope so... He looks pretty comfortable in this game.

[NewClaret]

Unbelievable Jeff

[Newcastleclaret93]

I hope so after that save haha

[Hedontplayforyou]

What a double save that was from Trafford

[ervi34]

I'd be amazed.

We'd look pretty daft if he picked up a cruciate or a dislocated shoulder in the current game.

And what if he does that in training?

[RVclaret]

Romano saying Trafford definitely signing

Might be off a a tangent but how tall is JT? Quite a few have him 6ft 6”

[jurek]

Would be great if we could sign up Harwood-Bellis as well as Trafford.
Give us the basis of a strong spine to the team.

[ksrclaret]

I love how everyone has gone from questioning the sanity of the Trafford deal, to now hoping that price still stands

As I said when the news first broke, trust in VK. He knows what he's doing.

Great U21 tournament from Trafford.

[LoveCurryPies]

Anyone think Trafford will be signed by a bigger club now?

[boatshed bill]

Anyone think Trafford will be signed by a bigger club now?

No. it's a done deal.

[claretandy]

Might be off a a tangent but how tall is JT? Quite a few have him 6ft 6”

I'd say 6 4.

[Tricky Trevor]

I'd say 6 4.

I think you’re nearer. He was stood next to Garner and there was very little between them.

[Stan Tastic]

I'd say 6 4.

He's 6ft 6.

[agreenwood]

He’s 1.92m according to Transfermarkt, which is about 6’3”.

Not that it matters, but he doesn’t look 6’6” so I’ll take Transfermarkt over Wiki.

[123EasyasBFC]

He will feel 6ft 6 after the tournament he’s had

[claretandy]

He's 6ft 6.

Not a jack palance.

[Anthonini]

We just bought the lad and he's already risen in value. Talk about doing good business. He didn't let one pass all tournament. Legend

[brexit]

Assumption with Trafford is he needs a medical before confirming the transfer?

[boatshed bill]

Medical!!!
The lad's lived on a Cumbrian farm all his life.

[Steddyman]

Assumption with Trafford is he needs a medical before confirming the transfer?

I thought when this first broke at the start of this week, all the trusted news sources said the medical was the next day.

Perhaps we need him for the signing on video before it can be announced,

[Anthonini]

I think the clubs made an agreement. Usually the player waits until after the tournament before signing the contract. Happened with Verbruggen too after the Netherlands went out in the group stage.

After missing out on Bart I'm thrilled we've found another one at least as good. It will be interesting to see how both players will develop throughout the season.

[Nori1958]

It was pointed out to those on here saying he was having a medical that there wasn't a cat in hells chance of him having a medical whilst involved in the later stages of the competition, can't remember seeing a news article saying it, but might have missed it.

[UGR]

There’s always one

No, there isn't H

So middle of next week for confirmation and video. Does this mean that Muric to Fenerbache maybe more than a
rumour?

[Bigvince]

No, there isn't H

[roperclaret]

But it wasn’t three years ago?

His last premier league game was 14 months ago

But his first was 3 years ago

[Newcastleclaret93]

But his first was 3 years ago

I am really not sure what your point is, that’s he’s quicker now? Or for some reason his pace will now be better against premier league defenders?

[Anthonini]

Sounds like a good step for Muric. He's too good to be on the bench.

[Big Vinny K]

My point is quite clear, he said that premier league defenders struggle against his pace.

I said there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that’s ********.

He didn’t - he said that the thought Tella’s pace would be dangerous against Premier League defenders.
That seems a pretty reasonable thing to say.

You still haven’t said which games you have watched which suggest otherwise - you are now saying there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that’s rubbish.
What evidence ?
How many games did he even start for Southampton ? My guess is you never even saw him play before he came to Burnley.

[boatshed bill]

Sounds like a good step for Muric. He's too good to be on the bench.

I hope he stays. We need 2 PL standard GKs.
